About
Thomas Deuel received his B.A. in Molecular Biology from Princeton University, after initially concentrating in Music Composition. He earned both an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Harvard University, where his doctoral dissertation focused on genetics and neurophysiology of cortical development. In parallel, he studied jazz composition and performance at the New England Conservatory in Boston. His medical training includes a residency in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, along with fellowships in Neurophysiology at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston and the University of Washington. His post-doctoral research concentrated on complex sound and music processing in the human cortex. Deuel also has several years of experience as a sound artist, creating site-specific sound installations, interactive music devices, and sound sculptures. His current work involves developing a brain-music interface that uses thought control to create music compositions without movement. He is on the medical staff at Swedish Hospital as a practicing neurologist, specializing in epilepsy and EEG.
